Kernel

Start a debugging session if ruby-debug is loaded with the -u/--debugger option

   # File lib/spec/runner/extensions/kernel.rb, line 4
4:     def debugger(steps=1)
5:       # If not then just comment and proceed
6:       $stderr.puts "debugger statement ignored, use -u or --debugger option on rspec to enable debugging"

Warning

NOTE that this does NOT support receiver.should != expected. Instead, use receiver.should_not == expected
